Compact proximity sensors

MicroBox compact capacitive proximity sensor is a self-contained unit measuring 34 x 16 x 18 mm. It comes in two versions: a proximity sensor for part/product presence and a Smart Level Technology device for liquid level detection. The latter self adjusts automatically to detect most fluids and gives no false signals from product filming or foaming.

MicroBox compact capacitive proximity sensor is a self-contained unit measuring 34 x 16 x 18 mm. It comes in two versions: a proximity sensor for part/product presence and a Smart Level Technology device for liquid level detection. The latter self adjusts automatically to detect most fluids and gives no false signals from product filming or foaming. It can be mounted in areas of overflow, wash down, and condensation without triggering a false signal. Sensors operate at 12-30 V dc and are available in PNP or NPN and normally open or normally closed configurations. Flush-mount style has an adjustable sensing distance from 1-8 mm and a built-in LED indicator visible from 180°. Device is IP67 rated. www.sie-sensors.com Sie Sensors Inc.
